Rabbit is a trickster and the other animals don't trust him. Animals are frolicking around one day and trying to decided what to do to entertain themselves. They decide to jump over a fence and see what is on the other side. Surprise! You have to read the story to find out what is on the other side of the fence.
Unfortunately, the ending is ruined because the publisher put a picture of the ending on the front cover. So much for the surprise. What were they thinking?
Overall I enjoyed the pictures of the animals more than the text. The scruffy dog was my favorite picture.
I can't help but read the title as if someone from Mayberry was saying it.
